Niacin or nicotinic acid (C₆H₅NO₂) is a white crystal or crystalline powder which is a water-soluble B vitamin. It has no odour and tastes a little sour. It can be consumed as a supplement, included in foods, and is naturally found in several food products. The two well-known forms of niacin found in meals as […]
Neopentyl Glycol (C5H12O2) is an organic, colorless, white, crystalline solid compound. It comprises 5 Carbon, 12 Hydrogen, and 2 Oxygen atoms. Formaldehyde and Isobutyraldehyde undergo aldol reactions on a large scale to produce Neopentyl Glycol industrially. It is also known as Dimethylolpropane, which is hygroscopic in nature. The boiling and melting point measures around 208° […]
In the first two quarters of 2023, Resorcinol prices faced diverse challenges across Asia, Europe, and North America. In Asia, factors such as high inventories, reduced manufacturing, and export rates, alongside Chinese government measures to combat economic downturn, led to a significant price decline. Europe witnessed an initial surge in Resorcinol prices driven by stable […]
In the third quarter of 2023, the Asia Pacific pyridine market experienced a significant drop in prices due to high domestic inventories and weak demand from key sectors like solvents, rubber, and pesticides. The second quarter saw a slight uptick with increased trading activities and stabilized supply chains, aided by reduced feedstock and coal costs. […]
Polypropylene is an industrial synthetic polymer that is obtained mainly by oil refining or natural gas processing. It is obtained as a byproduct which is a colourless gas and has a light petroleum-like Odor. Various monomers of C3H6 atoms undergo polymerization to form a linear structure of hydrocarbons arranged in chain-like order. Its melting point […]
Polycarbonate is defined as a polymer chain of bisphenol-A carbonate. Polycarbonate resin is highly strong, resistant to fracture, and flexible, just like acetal resin. They are polyesters of phenols and carbonic acid and can be obtained by reducing diphenoxymethylene end products with diphenylcarbonate. In addition, polycarbonate melts at about 265°C and has great impact strength. […]
In Asia, Methyl Ethyl Ketone prices had a sluggish start in H1 2023 due to plummeting demands from paint and coating industries, compounded by weak feedstock butanol prices. The pandemic-induced lockdowns in China initially halted the industry, and even after reopening, consumer focus on necessities prolonged the revival. Global economic slowdown also contributed, leading to […]
Naphtha is an intermediate organic compound obtained from the reaction between crude oil and liquid kerosene. Naphtha is a combustible compound that is obtained from petroleum refineries while the distillation process is in progress. It is a volatile chemical whose molecular weight range around 100-215 u. The boiling point for the compound measures around 20-220° […]
Linear Low-Density Polyethylene is a variety of thermoplastic polymer that is obtained by copolymerizing ethylene along with but-1-ene, 1-octene, and 1-hexene. It has low shear sensitivity and a unique melt flow property, making it stand out in the list of other commercial polymers in the global market. It resists chemicals, such as alcohols, acids, and […]
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a synthetic polymer that is mainly obtained from the electrolysis of salt water that is combined with ethylene and produces the resultant products. The polymerized material known as PVC is a widely used commercial synthetic polymer that is mainly associated with the plastic manufacturing industry. The material exhibits immense strength, flexibility, […]
